UChicago vs Georgetown vs Dartmouth vs UC Berkeley
Hi, these are my top choices right now for undergrad. I'll be studying econ in all three of these schools.
My long term goal is to break into IB, which school would you guys rec? Thanks
Congrats on getting into all those schools. I would personally choose UChicago if IB is the goal, but you really can’t go wrong with any of them
I go to uchi. Uchi has better placements than dartmouth, but Dartmouth is probably way more fun and in a much nicer area. I’d take Dartmouth.
Is the grade deflation really bad at Uchicago? I saw that they offered a biz econ , but idk if employers viewed it negatively as its jst an easier econ
All these schools can get you where you want and have clear pros and cons. Just go where you want.
Berkeley — west coast, tech presence, broadest academic strengths, in state tuition?, but big public
Dartmouth — ivy, fun, good undergrad focus. but middle of nowhere (good if outdoorsy and fratty)
Georgetown — great WS placement, access to city, ivy-esque student populace, but more limited pool of academic interests / strengths on campus (primarily a gov/econ type place)
Uchicago— most academically prestigious at the ugrad level here, best campus (imho), but shitty location and unique culture / rigor
thanks for the explanations of each. I'm leaning towards Uchicago rn but I think after campus tours I'll be confident of where to go
Yes, definitely tour all of them if you can. You really can’t go wrong here, though.
Really depends on where you want to be. If goal is west coast tech banking, berkeley is great. If goal is NY/east coast/generalist roles, the other schools might be better.
Gotcha, don't want to do anything tech related and I hope to go to New York in the future. I committed UChicago, hopefully don't regret it later lol
Thanks for the insight!
